Whiskey Pig Craft Butchery and Deli

Food was amazing! I got a lamb gyro, it was soooo fresh and juicy, I’ve never had anything quite like it. I was a little thrown off because it was ground lamb, not traditional style, but the seasoning and the fresh house made tzatziki sauce made it special. The presentation was great, I would have gotten a picture if only it hadn’t smelled so good when it came out. While the food was stellar, what really sets the Whiskey Pig apart was the customer service. I’ve never dined somewhere that felt so much like visiting family. I assume it was the owner who took our order and checked on us. He made all the tables feel like guests or family stopping by for a visit. The home style decor wasn’t just a aesthetic decision, but a representation of the service you can expect coming here. A worthy mention to the display cases of fresh meat for sale, looked delicious, might take something home to try next time!

The chef Pork chop is Amazing. He got skillz and he's very sweet. The hospitality here alone deserves 5 stars. I will be coming back here and have already referred this place. Excellent place to dine!

I don't usually leave reviews but we just had lunch at the whiskey pig and it was amazing.

My husband got the pastrami Ruben and I had the ribeye sandwich. Both were amazing. My husband loved the fried okra!

We went in because it was the first butchery we'd seen here and wanted to check it out. They had a good selection and all from their local farm. Prices were a little high but we'll be back again for lunch and hopefully bring some home.

Great deli and butcher shop in historic Kinston. Was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the meats you can get from these fine folks.
Worth every penny! Great customer service and delicious food!

I liked the pulled pork plate, very good. The pork was just too salty for me but I use salt on nothing. The fried okra and cowboy baked beans will be the main reason I'll return. Though the sweet potato casserole is a draw as well. The slaw is excellent, know it's mayo base. Obviously, though it's a butcher shop, special attention is paid to the sides as well. Don't let the gruff personally of the butcher, mentioned in other reviews, keep you from trying his pork. He just comes across that way but he truly seems to want you happy with your experience. (My opinion, I don't know him personally) He's probably just persnickety. That's what makes his food so delicious. A curious thought; because of the name, I expected a pub or micro distillery on site but no. Maybe it's the secret ingredient in the rub?

They only have burnt ends every other week so plan your trip to the Whiskey Pig accordingly! All the sides are amazing, the food was prepared fresh and prompt. Bring a cooler and take fresh cut meats home.

Super fast service in a casual atmosphere with exceptional food. Delicious juicy cheeseburger was made with high quality beef. Superb Brisket sandwich was rich and smoky with a side of cool creamy slaw. Sides menu was inventive; want to try one of everything!

Delicious brisket + sides and the nicest people. 100% worth pulling off the highway, you won't regret it.

Hey guys and girls. If you are in Kinston and you’re craving some good barbecue, you have found the perfect place. Whiskey Pig Craft Butchery and Deli are the real deal. I’ve eaten barbecue from cost to cost and I can say this place is unbelievable. The food was awesome service was spectacular. The first time coming will definitely be back when I am back in town.

This place is AMAZING! The staff is the friendliest and nicest as to be expected here in downtown Kinston. We live in New Bern and frequent Kinston often. We have been waiting with high expectations for Whisky Pig to open and they did not disappoint. If you have a bad experience here then it is your own fault. The food was very tasty and the price is expected as the ingredients are farm raised.

GREAT NEWS!! I ordered three Chicken Pot Pies, asked not to put pepper in them, well, we're on our second pie and they are so DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not sure who actually makes them, but they are GREAT, thank you.
I have never been to Kinston, but...I do go to the Raleigh Farmer's Market and religiously get the Chicken Pot Pies. I love them, but the other day I got one with ALOT of pepper, I cannot handle regular pepper. And, I cannot take it out of the pie. When people get home with their pot pie they can put as much pepper on theirs as they want...I have asked to order three without any pepper, so I don't have the problem I had last time. The pastry is sweet, and the inside is SOOOOOOOO good, it doesn't need pepper, you lose the flavor.
Your meat is great, my husband LOVES ribeye, and I do the filet mignon, both are GREAT!!
I've already asked about ordering, so I'm just waiting to see if they will be there next Saturday....hint...my birthday is tomorrow and I turn 65 years young...

I was there today with my daughter .. I had read a previous review from about a week ago and was concerned but considering other reviews this seemed out of sorts.. So we tried it for ourselves ..
I ordered the Brisket platter with fried okra and loaded potato ... My daughter got the chicken salad sandwich and we got an extra side of squash casserole ..
I have lived in Texas many years so I know brisket and this was very VERY good .. The sauce was perfect ... The potatoes and okra were awesome (it was WHOLE fried okra ) YUM !
My daughter's said her sandwich was SO good ...perfectly made and the squash casserole was perfect !
I am not sure where the other person ate ..but must have been somewhere different.. Several were in there eating ..We all knew how to order and what to do..no confusion at all and the staff was pleasant..helpful and friendly ..We will be back for sure ..so many thing I still want to try !!!
Thank you for a wonderful lunch !!

I’ve had a lot of bbq in a lot of places. Whiskey Pig rates right up there. Have a plate and take some home. The selections are varied, the people are gracious, and Kinston is trying to reinvent itself. Help them by eating some really good bbq

Big portions, really good pricing, and the food was delicious! We had the Brisket Plate and the Pork Plate. For one of your sides, definitely get the beans!

Extremely helpful friendly people! Was such a pleasant experience! Fresh from the farm meat ! This is my go to place for meats from here on out.

Great BBQ and Ribeye Brisket sandwich. Visiting Kinston for the weekend and stopped by for lunch. Friendly staff, clean inside, and great food. Highly recommend!

Great spot to grab a bit to eat! Had the Blueberry Balsamic Turkey Sandwich with Fried Okra and Sriracha Ranch. Fresh ingredients and very tasty. Everyone else enjoyed their meal and raved about the Brisket! Highly recommended!

Exceptional customer service! We chose to have a late dinner this weekend and they had started the process of closing up for the night when we arrived. Chef Jason greeted us upon walking in and took care of us himself from seating to checkout, he is very personable & treats you like a friend. Everything was delicious and large portions we both had leftovers which made for great lunches. My partner had the surf and turf special with a very tender well seasoned ribeye perfectly cooked garlic shrimp. I had the Hawaiian Ham and Swiss at Chefs recommendation and I will definitely be getting it again, great balance of sweet & salty with enough cheese you could taste but not so much it overpowered the other flavors.

We've eaten here twice now, and also bought some lamb to take home which was excellent. Really lovely place. Good people, very welcoming, nice mix of customers. Highly recommend the deep fried okra. Will be back next time we're in town.

Pork chop & Milissa are so nice. Bought a few New York strips from the butcher. Best meat to ever touch my taste buds!!!
